Pictures have emerged of a group of dog lovers allegedly congregating in a Huddersfield park and ignoring social distancing rules.

An eyewitness took images of a group of people taking part in what appeared to be a “dog training class” in Ravensknowle Park on Sunday afternoon.

He says that those taking part in the session were flouting social distancing rules by “huddling” in groups and petting each other’s dogs.

The 40-year-old, who took the pictures around 4pm, said: “This was Sunday afternoon at Ravensknowle park. It kind of looked like some sort of dog training class.

“After witnessing them all for quite some time they were all mixing with each other and they were huddled in groups. Some would move to other groups and they were all petting each others animals.

The eyewitness claims they were not following social distancing rules

“The two-metre rule was definitely not being adhered to and there were more than there are in the pictures.

“They were positioned in a way that made it hard for other people to social distance at that point and I saw many actually have to turn around to avoid where they were. It’s just not on.”

Although the UK is in lockdown, there have been many instances of people ignoring the rules enforced by the Government to prevent the spread of coronavirus which has killed over 28,000 people in the UK.
